The number of newly enrolled #InternationalStudents in US #colleges dropped 17% this fall after the #Trump admin made it more challenging to obtain #StudentVisas [& jailed many legally here], data released Monday by the Institute of #International #Education shows.
The figures, based on a survey of >825 colleges & #universities, provide one of the clearest views of the potential impact of measures Trump’s admin has taken that make it more difficult for foreign students to come to the US.
That effort has included restricting travel from 19 nations; pushing #schools to limit the number of #InternationalStudents; temporarily pausing #StudentVisa screening interviews while the government revamped procedures to include tougher #socialmedia rules; & canceling #visas for students accused of “crimes”, overstaying their visa or participating in pro-Palestinian #HumanRights #protests.

Thank you to The Economic Times of India for covering some of the #WashingtonDC protests. They're doing better than a lot of US media outlets.
DC is flooded with protesters daily, the result of months of hard work by organizers with no national help. Today they wrapped the White house perimeter in crime scene tape.

Like the #Epstein files themselves, the Epstein-Trump protest statue is BACK, BABY!
Park Police illegally removed it early on, though it was legally placed on the National Mall with a permit that was still valid. They broke a piece off, too.
BUT it got restored to the mall intact. Now it's outside Busboys and Poets Books in #WashingtonDC

A year ago on Nov 1 was the #NoviSad train station collapse that ignited #protests in #Serbia that continued for a long time
How long?
To today
Thousands of Serbian students are marching 100 km on foot to commemorate 16 people who died in the collapse due to #corruption
They demand #accountability. Those in power responsible escape accountability when people get distracted. The protesters aren't allowing anyone to forget
There is a lesson for us, world

Jean Lin, special counsel for the #DOJ, confirmed the deployment to the US District Court Judge Karin Immergut on Wednesday but provided few specifics — minutes before the trial began.
Immergut issued a restraining order at 3:40PM on Oct 4, barring #Trump from federalizing the #Oregon #NationalGuard & blocking their deployment. Later, on Oct 5, she issued another order temporarily blocking Guard members from anywhere in the country from deploying to Oregon.
“We’ll talk later about whether that’s #contempt,” the judge responded to Lin Wednesday.
For the next 3 days, Immergut will preside over a trial that’s expected to touch on a range of issues, from lofty legal arguments about the authority & limitations of presidential powers, to specific ways the #Portland Police Bureau has evolved its response to #protests since 2020, & rising tensions between local & #federal law enforcement officers.
“This is not a whodunit. This is a why-dunit,” said Kevin Little, one of Rosenberg’s lawyers, during his opening statement.
He said Rosenberg, who has been charged with 3 misdemeanors & felony conspiracy, investigated the plant for 2 months before taking the birds & consulted a veterinarian who was concerned about images that appeared to show animals being boiled alive. Chris Carraway, her other atty, said in a statement that this “was a rescue, not a crime.”
Rosenberg is an #AnimalRights activist with the group Direct Action Everywhere, or #DxE, which is known for animal rescues & #protests that often garner national attention. #PerdueFarms is one of the largest poultry producers in the country & supplies major grocery chains….
the #FBI is now officially visiting the homes of people spotted at protests like #NoKings, #ICE, etc.
it boggles the mind that there are people at #protests in the US who, upon finding #FBI agents at their door asking “do you have a few minutes to talk about the protests?” answer with anything other than “do you have a warrant?” followed by a polite request that they leave your property.
this isn’t complicated. you need to shut the fuck up. the #5thAmendment exists for a reason. shutting the fuck up cannot be used against you, for any reason, ever. not shutting the fuck up will never help you. it can only hurt you.
any false statement to the FBI can be charged as a crime. even if you just forgot. even if you mix up the order of events. even if you tell the truth but the agents find another person whose story contradicts yours. even if you tell the truth but the agents misremember what you said (!!!).
talking to the FBI is much more legally perilous than talking to the police (and you shouldn’t do that either). talking to Kash Patel's FBI is far more perilous than talking to the old FBI.
i know it’s hard. you want to be helpful. you think if you stay silent they'll find you suspicious. you want to explain yourself. it’s a very natural human thing and that’s exactly what they’re going to use against you. so here’s a helpful script you can follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ
literally every single lawyer in the united states will tell you exactly what i’m telling you now. tell a friend. tell all your friends. tell random people you see on the street.
and shut. the. fuck. up.
don't be like this guy, who helpfully stepped out of his house to chat with the FBI outside the range of audio recording for most of an hour: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/video-fbi-agents-visit-anti-ice-protester
